The SEMFF StingRay is a flying combat wing with sleek organic looks and outstanding flight envelope performance. This plane has delighted low time pilots with its gentle characteristic by limiting the control throws, and satisfied the performance freak with an outstanding power to weight ratio and a 3s battery. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1542672

It has to be the funbat for me, super stable like it's on rails. Can be a gentle & smooth flyer or you can juice it up for exciting performance. Flie's in wind very well, I'm not that long in the hobby, but the funbat get's my vote for newb's and 'articulate' pilots alike.

Mo, good choice Mine is a treat to fly and can cope with windy conditions really quite well, so a good all-rounder when conditions are a bit difficult. If you have not already done so, consider putting a balsa leading edge on wing, it makes the bird a bit tougher saves time sanding a LE too. Pic's when finished please

Mo, it's taking shape well. I did build mine with sheet depron and didn't have a fold-over, just laminated two 6mm sheets together giving KF step. My spar is carbon flat, 6mm x 1.2mm bonded to back of upper sheet. You can build so many ways and I don't think there's a wrong way. Mine is perhaps not as conventional as the plan version, I cut from a limited material stock so made some 'poetic' build changes. Hopefully if I did it right, ther could be some photo's of how it turned out.

Funbat photo's and power options

Mo, not sure where the photo's are !
Power options, I had an e=max 1650kv motor to start with and 18A esc, 7x4 prop. Taking a 3s/1000 battery pack up for around 9mins. Not bad for a starting point. I have 'juiced-up' a bit since, now running a 1900kv with 7x4 prop to try and keep up with my FB. Photo's this time

What Glue should I use on the $ foam with the paper still on it.
Only one person told me to use hot glue or Tarzan grip.
I wonder if the hot glue would penetrate the paper and hold, or if the paper would just peel off.
